Random Trivia
This is the name of the giant snow monster that guards Elsa's palace in Frozen.
What is Marshmallow?
During interphase, DNA exists in this form to be easily accessible.
What is chromatin?
An organism that has 9 chromosomes in a gamete, has this many in a somatic cell.
What is 18?
This type of cells is duplicated in mitosis.
What are somatic cells? Acceptable but not preferred answer - diploid cells.
This name refers to the steps of meiosis' second nuclear division which occurs in the same way as mitosis.
What is meiosis II?
This name for a nut is also the comic strip of Charlie Brown, Woodstock and Snoopy.
What are peanuts?
Chromatids in a double stranded chromosome in mitosis have this relationship between their DNA.
What is identical copies of each other?
Your body has this number of chromosomes in most of its cells.
What is 46?
What is metaphase? (Or what is metaphase and metaphase II?)
This phase precedes Mitosis and Meiosis.
What is interphase?
This material is what Lego's original toys were made out of.
What is wood?
This component of a chromosome allows a spindle fibre to attach to it, so it can be easily moved around.
What is a centromere?
This action occurs in Interphase and means that when chromosomes condense they are double stranded.
What is DNA replication?
This action occurs in anaphase, and is a helpful reminder with both action and phase starting with a.
What is chromosomes are pulled apart/away from each other to the poles?
This process creates four genetically different daughter cells.
What is meiosis?

What is Narnia?
This is the smallest unit of DNA.
What is a nucleotide?
A gamete contains this number of chromosomes.
What is haploid?
This is the first phase of mitosis. In this phase, centrioles start forming spindle fibres, nuclear membrane disappears and chromosomes condense.
What is prophase?
In this stage of meiosis, genetic variation is introduced by crossing over and random assortment. Different from the equivalent stage in mitosis, they line up in pairs.
What is metaphase I?
This character fears the tick tock from a crocodile that swallowed a clock.
Who is Captain Hook?
This protein is central to the structure of a chromosome as DNA is wrapped around it as it condenses.
What are histones or nucleosomes?
DNA is wrapped around this protein as part of condensing into a chromosome.
What is a histone?
This action occurs after mitosis, to separate the cells in two.
What is cytokinesis?
Haploid cells first appear in this phase of meiosis.
What is telophase I?
